An electric gate is only as good as the gate behind the motor. At Marmion Engineering we fabricate the gate and engineer the automation as one system — correct weight balance, proper foundations, safety edges and manual release from day one. Designed and built in our Greenore workshop, installed across Dundalk, Newry, Dublin, Cavan and Louth.
Automated swing gates suit entrances with room for the leaves to open and a reasonably level drive — the classic look, with underground or arm-mounted motors.
Automated sliding gates win on slopes, short driveways and wide openings — one leaf tracks along the wall, so no swing room is needed. We fabricate sliding gates up to 17 metres, among the largest in Ireland.
Not sure? A free site visit answers it in ten minutes — levels, power supply, pier condition and the honest recommendation.
Safety edges, photocells, force limitation and manual release on every install — automation that protects kids, pets and paintwork.
We balance and engineer the gate for its automation, so motors aren't fighting a badly hung gate — the No.1 cause of early failures.
Keypads, fobs, intercoms, GSM (open by phone) and app control — configured to how your household or site actually works.
Sound existing gates? We automate and refurbish them — new hinges, tracks, posts and motors without replacing good steelwork.
The same automated gates we build for homes scale up for factories, yards, schools and logistics sites — heavy-duty cycles, HGV clearances, and EN1090 EX2 certified steelwork behind every weld. Ports and industrial clients across the North East already trust our fabrication daily.

From our Greenore workshop we survey, fabricate and install across Louth, Newry and Down, Dublin and the M1 corridor, Cavan and Monaghan. See our full coverage on the gates & entrances page, or book a free site visit.
It depends on the gate itself, the automation kit, groundworks and access controls. Our gate price guide explains what drives the cost, and a free site visit gets you an exact itemised quote.
Usually, yes — if the steelwork is sound. We refurbish, re-hang and automate existing gates, replacing hinges, posts or tracks where needed. It's often the most cost-effective route.
Every install includes a manual release so you can open the gate by hand, and battery backup is available on most systems.
Ours are — safety edges, photocell beams and force limitation are standard on every Marmion installation, and we test them at handover.
Every week — we're minutes from the border at Greenore, with sterling quotes and cross-border installs as routine.
